To the prefects’ accountant. 2471<br />

Letter CXLII. 2470<br />

I assembled all my brethren the chorepiscopi at the synod of the blessed martyr Eupsychius<br />

2472 to introduce them to your excellency. On account of your absence they must be<br />

brought before you by letter. Know, therefore, this brother as being worthy to be trusted<br />

by your intelligence, because he fears the Lord. As to the matters on behalf of the poor,<br />

which he refers to your good-will, deign to believe him as one worthy of credit, <strong>and</strong> to give<br />

the afflicted all the aid in your power. I am sure you will consent to look favourably upon<br />

the hospital of the poor which is in his district, <strong>and</strong> exempt it altogether from taxation. It<br />

has already seemed good to your colleague to make the little property of the poor not liable<br />

to be rated.<br />
